Hey!
Animated this in about 2 or 3 hrs. , but weirdhat said it isnt clear what’s happening, so I wanted to get some suggestions 
I wanted to try how much i could do with such a simple character. As you see, it isnt that much %|

I’m not sure what is meant to be happening either. Little character comes in from right to box, seems to laugh (or get a flat tyre???) then tries to leave, bumps into the edge of frame, and then the box tells me it is a joke. Maybe if you explained a bit more about what your characters goal/action is… I can try and offer my suggestions. 
the character drives through the world, sees the box, is curious, gets terrified cos the box suddenly jumps, drives fast away, bumps against a wall and is ko. Then the box says it was just a joke.
Would love to read your suggestions!

OK
Curious… ah-hah!
I’d suggest having the guy walk (roll) around the box, do a complete circuit. Look it up and down. Pause somewhere, as if thinking… then very slowly edge towards it… But as he does so the box moves a little… and the guy jumps back. He edges back again… (or not depending upon how brave he feels 
) then carefully edges forward again… this time getting really close… then just when he is about to touch the box it really jumps around (maybe use a lattice to the box and stretch it around)… the little guy runs off hits the wall… spins around very fast and erratically and then colapses in a heap, backwards and the bottom bit jiggles a bit (nervous twitch). There is a pause. The box stretches up as if to see if the guy is alright, then does the joke flag thing. This is just my thoughts, use them as you will. 
hehe, that’s almost like i wanted it to do at the frist time. but i was too lazy %|
Well, maybe i should do that…
